Longevity Begins With Gu Refining

Chapter 163 - Longevity Mountain

After conquering the Vermillion Bird Tribe and entering the treasury of the Vermillion Bird Tribe, Chen Qing felt as if his eyes were playing tricks on him.

There were almost a hundred stalks of precious herbs, which would allow him to cultivate to the Foundation Establishment Great Circle easily.

All kinds of Gu worms could be found in the treasury of the Vermillion Bird Tribe.

Chen Qing took thirty stalks of precious herbs, a large number of Gu worms, and a spirit grade flying sword Gu, Crimson Firmament.

He left the treasury and let Su Yi come in to check.

These spoils of war were to be distributed to those who contributed.

Wasn't this the reason why they followed you to war?

Half of it would be used as a reward to compensate the families of the Foundation Establishment Cultivators who died in battle.

The remaining half would be used for the daily operations of the Li Army.

After ordering Su Yi to secretly search for a large number of Meat Gu, Chen Qing continued his journey to the Longevity Mountain.

The difference from before was that he left a large number of Foundation Establishment Cultivators in Floating Sky City, and he only brought a hundred Foundation Establishment Cultivators with him.

The situation in Fire Country had been stabilized, and there was no need to bring all the Foundation Establishment Cultivators.

Sitting in the war chariot, Chen Qing took out a crimson Lingzhi and began to cultivate.

After cultivating for six hours, Chen Qing felt that his cultivation had improved greatly. He walked out of the carriage and let everyone rest for a moment.

At this moment, the Foundation Establishment Cultivators who followed him were completely loyal. They firmly believed that since Chen Qing could defeat Zhu Ning, he could definitely defeat Yan Shiying and return Wu Country a bright future.

However, Chen Qing knew that Zhu Ning was far inferior to Yan Shiying.

The army under Yan Shiying's command had been baptized by the flames of war.

Zhu Ning was just a rich man, how could he be compared to Yan Shiying?

Moreover, the reason why the Extreme Light Sect wanted Chen Qing to personally deal with Yan Shiying was not only because Yan Shiying had swept away a large number of Foundation Establishment Cultivators.

The Nine Li Country in the south had a large number of Foundation Establishment Cultivators, but the Extreme Light Sect had never worried.

Only Yan Shiying made the Extreme Light Sect feel that she must be eliminated.

It was because of another reason.

That was Yan Shiying's provocative slogan, the Hidden Gate Army.

This slogan that everyone can become a Hidden Gate was very likely to involve the entire Nine Li Country.

It had to be extinguished as soon as possible. Otherwise, Yan Shiying's team would only get bigger and bigger.

Along the way to the south, Chen Qing cultivated and fed his Gu worms. He spent half a month walking through the barren rocky nests and the pilgrimage path that had sixteen hours of sunlight every day.

The closer he got to God Miao, the more Chen Qing felt the mighty power of a god.

Of course, he didn't care too much about it. It was just a trick to confuse people.

As they got closer and closer to Longevity Mountain, day and night became indistinguishable.

In the sky, there was a dazzling light illuminating the night sky.

Miao Shen was a Righteous God who rarely appeared.

For example, the Celestial Venerables of the Immortal Court and the Celestial Masters of the Celestial Master Mansion all had their own legends.

Only God Miao did not have any official description of the myth. It was all based on the imagination of the believers.

However, it was undeniable that Chen Qing was still shocked when he arrived at the Ten Thousand Years Mountain.

In the southernmost area, there is a large island on the sea. It receives the light of the day and lasts forever.

It was the Ten Thousand Years Mountain.

It was rumored that there was a scorching sun on the Longevity Mountain, which was Miao Shen's left eye.

After Chen Qing arrived here, he discovered that there was indeed a large star in the sky.

Although the light of this large star was not warm, it was extremely bright.

The moon could not be seen here. At night, only this large star could be seen.

Sitting in the cabin, Chen Qing wore the golden ghost mask and sat opposite Death Omen.

Chen Qing curiously sized up the person in charge of the Extreme Light Sect in Wu Country. He looked to be in his forties, and his realm could not be seen.

It should be much taller than Chen Qing.

"It's the Weapon Lord's image that has awakened this time, not the real Miao Shen."

"The Weapon Lord's image will only act on instinct. You don't have to worry too much."

"With the golden ghost mask I brought you, you don't have to worry even if you have tricks up your sleeves."

"When you meet the Weapon Lord's image, remember to bring the golden ghost mask with you."

Chen Qing nodded slightly. "Is there anything else I need to take note of?"

Death Omen muttered, "You can't kneel. You definitely can't kneel."

"If you kneel, it's hard to say if you'll still be you."

Chen Qing shuddered when he heard that. What kind of existence was Miao Shen?

The embodiment of the world's will?

The pinnacle of a Dao?

Something that could affect a person's mind and cognition?

Why did Death Omen's description not sound like a righteous god?

Chen Qing took off the golden ghost mask and placed it in front of his chest.

He still felt that it was not safe enough, so he took out the Void Flower that he had kept for a long time and placed it in his sleeve.

He should be safe as long as he was prepared for both sides.

On the second day of the tenth month, Chen Qing ascended the Longevity Mountain.

The Longevity Mountain was a tall mountain that stood in the sea. There was a white tiger sleeping soundly on the mountain.

It was a true divine beast, not some mixed-blood spiritual beast. It was a pure-blood white tiger.

As soon as he arrived, Chen Qing was received.

A green-robed Daoist stood on a huge gourd and smiled.

"Are you Qing Xu who's here to pay respects to Miao Shen?"

Chen Qing cupped his hands. "That's right, it's Qing Xu."

The people on the ship were not qualified to ascend the Longevity Mountain, so they could only wait on the ship.

The green-robed Daoist led the way. "Greetings to Miao Shen. You need to bathe, burn incense, and recite the Canaan Sutra for three days."

Chen Qing cupped his hands and asked, "How should I address you, senior?"

The green-robed Daoist smiled. "You can just call me the temple attendant."

Under the green-robed Daoist's guidance, Chen Qing arrived at a quiet little temple.

Apart from bathing, he would burn incense and recite the Canaan Sutra day and night in the little temple.

The little temple was really small. It was only the size of Chen Qing's knee when he walked over. The closer he got, the bigger the temple..

When Chen Qing walked in, he realized that the temple was the size of a normal temple.

Occasionally, when he looked out of the window, he could see that the flying insects were about the same size as him.

It could be considered an extremely miraculous method.

Three days later, it was finally time to meet Miao Shenbing's Prime Deity.

Chen Qing, who had changed into a pure black robe, followed the temple attendant towards the center of Longevity Mountain.

On a green staircase, Chen Qing and the temple attendant descended.

The temple attendant flew to the left side of the first step and looked at Chen Qing.

Chen Qing looked around and saw that there were two different Daoists standing on both sides of the stairs. Their cultivation levels were unfathomable.

He couldn't see the end of it.

Just as Chen Qing was thinking, his consciousness suddenly withdrew from his body and retracted into his sea of consciousness.

A consciousness spread out from the Golden Ghost Mask, controlling his body and walking up the stairs step by step.

It turned out that this was the strategy of the Extreme Light Religion. They would use a fake him to worship Miao Shen in order to gain Miao Shen's favor.
